What if the hope of Heaven had the power to heal your heart after the loss of your baby? Miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss are heartbreaking experiences that no mother should ever have to endure. Drowning in sadness, you cry out in pain, \"God, where are You? Why did You let my baby die?\" You feel abandoned by Him and question His goodness. How will you ever live without your precious baby? Will you ever see him or her again? Ashley Opliger asked these same questions when her daughter, Bridget, was born into Heaven at 24 weeks in her first pregnancy. In a crisis of faith, Ashley chose to surrender her suffering and allow God to heal her heart. She found purpose in her pain when she started Bridget's Cradles, a nonprofit that now comforts thousands of grieving families across the country. Through her own story of heartbreak, Ashley will guide you on a journey to trust God's promise to restore your joy, use your grief for good, and spend eternity with your baby in Heaven.

In Chapter 6 of Cradled in Hope , “For He is Good: When You Question Who God Is,” she unpacks the emotional, theological, and spiritual wrestlings that come when prayers go unanswered—and babies die. To help grieving hearts rebuild trust in God’s character, Ashley shares five biblical attributes that anchor our faith in who God is, even in the most devastating times of life. This chapter is structured around these five truths as pillars of hope for moms who are asking, “If God is good, why did this happen?” With honesty, compassion, and Scripture, Ashley reminds us that God’s goodness is not changed by our circumstances—but by His unchanging character. The 5 Key Attributes of God that Ashley explores in the chapter: God is Good – He is blameless, loving, and kind. God is Sovereign – He is in control, even when our lives feel like chaos. God is Just – He is fair and righteous, and will make all things right one day. God is Faithful – He keeps His promises and never leaves us. God is Immutable (Unchanging) – His character never changes. He is constant and secure. Ashley acknowledges how grief can shake our faith and make us question everything we thought we knew about God. But rather than hiding from the hard questions, she invites us to bring them into the light. Through Scripture and personal experience, she guides listeners back to the firm foundation of who God is, even in the midst of their heartbreak. GET THE BOOK!
